The Ward Team @ Bauer & Hart

Fantastic experience: Rick is the best! He makes the entire home-buying process so easy and is always happy to answer any questions. He’s incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and makes the whole process feel effortless. Highly recommend him!

Positive experience: We had a great experience working with Rick. Because it was a buyer's market we had to lower our original price and wait it out over three months. Rick stayed with it and got the job done. We recommend Rick and his wife if you ever think of buying or selling your home.

Fantastic experience: The entire process went very smoothly thanks to the expert guidance of my realtors, The Ward Team. The photos and marketing were professional and really showcased my home beautifully. Communication was excellent throughout the process, and I always felt informed and supported. I really appreciated Rick’s knowledge, responsiveness, and guidance from start to finish. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Fantastic experience: Working with Rick and the team was fantastic. Given that I was remote during most of the sale, they really helped with handling things on the ground. If I had another sale, I would definitely use them again.

Mr. Ward and his team went above and beyond since I did not leave in the area where the house was being sold.

They are knowledgeable about the housing market/area and always kept me updated on the process of selling my home.

Fantastic experience: Rick Ward and Debbie Ward with The Ward Team were absolutely outstanding from start to finish. We could not have asked for a better team to guide us through both selling our home and buying our dream home. On the selling side, Rick and Debbie helped us position, price, and market our home perfectly. Their understanding of the local market was clear immediately, and the results spoke for themselves — our home sold right away. They knew exactly how to highlight the strengths of the property, create urgency, and navigate the process with confidence and professionalism. On the buying side, they were just as impressive. We found our dream home in a highly competitive situation, and Rick and Debbie helped us put together the strongest possible offer. Even though we were using a conventional loan and competing against a cash offer, they helped us win. That alone says everything about their experience, strategy, reputation, and ability to communicate value to the other side. What really stood out throughout the entire process was how responsive and easy they were to communicate with. Buying and selling at the same time can be stressful, but Rick and Debbie were always quick to answer questions, explain next steps, and keep everything moving. They were professional, knowledgeable, calm under pressure, and genuinely invested in helping our family get the best outcome. They understand the market, they know how to negotiate, and they know how to get deals done. Just as importantly, they make you feel taken care of the entire way. We always felt like we had experienced advocates in our corner. We are incredibly grateful for Rick Ward, Debbie Ward, and The Ward Team. They helped us sell our home quickly and buy the home we truly wanted in a competitive market. I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell. If you want a team that is responsive, strategic, knowledgeable, and truly committed to their clients, Rick and Debbie are the ones to call.

They did accurate and complete market analysis to ensure we were listed at the best price to deliver the most profit and a quick sale. We sold our house one week after listing. In addition, their marketing package utilizes the latest technology including videos, pictures, descriptive house summaries, coverage in all MLS resources, feedback of all showings, and itemized sales plan with weekly goals and progress reports. In addition to their business skills they are extremely easy to work with and take great care of their customers. I will and have recommended them to my friends and anyone who wants a great real estate sales team.

Their level of caring, professionalism, and efficiency was awesome! Their photographer was amazing as well. We had two offers within the first 24 hours! Everything went smoothly right through closing. I highly recommend the Ward Team if you are buying or selling a home! As a retired Realtor myself, my standards are pretty high, and they did not disappoint!

Fantastic experience: Rick Ward is an amazing realtor, whether you are buying or selling. He sold and closed on my property in Waterloo SC within approximately 30 days and currently working on selling additional land for me now which will be closing the end of the month. I, therefore, highly recommend Rick Ward for your real estate needs.

Fantastic experience: Debby not only sold us our home 6 years ago but when we called about selling it she delivered big time. Her listing, photos and diagram overview of our home and property resulted in a full price + offer from the first person on the first day!

They work hard, respond quickly, and are proactive in communication and follow-through. The process went smoothly, and I'm grateful to have the chance to work with Rick and Deborah!

Fantastic experience: My family and I have worked with Debby twice now, and both experiences have been incredibly pleasant, honest, informative and successful!

I highly recommend Rick Ward and Carolina Moon, you won't be disappointed. 5-STARS !

Fantastic experience: From the first time we talked, I could tell Rick was fully committed and invested in helping me get the best result possible for the sale of my childhood home. In addition to the usual challenges in selling an “old” and eclectic house, I live 90 minutes away. However, Rick and his team were just what I needed in that their hands-on approach in every phase created the “best way forward.” With his valuable input, we prepared action steps to timely meet our objectives. From start to finish, Rick handled oversight of repairs, appliance installation, marketing, offer management, final negotiations, and closing issues. With his invaluable assistance and expertise, we achieved an excellent result and actually exceeded our expectations. I plan to engage Rick on my next project and highly recommend him to all.

Fantastic experience: Represented us on a land sale and took very good care of us and we are kind of a high maintenance client lol. Great Job Rick, thank you so much

Fantastic experience: When my wife and I started looking for a house the market was and still is crazy ,the realtor that we had when we 1st started looking for homes was to busy to even return our calls and showed us some terrible houses, not even fit to live in. But with that being said anytime that we called Rick ,he always answers but if he wasn't able to answer he would always return our calls very promptly. Whenever he showed us a house he always showed up when he said he would if not earlier. He knew exactly what we was looking for. When we found the house that we wanted we had alot of obstacles and hoops to go threw but Rick was there helping us every step of the way, his knowledge and willingness to help us was worth way more than the commission. He saved us time, money, and helped us every step of the way. I don't believe we would have this wonderful property without his help.. Thanks so much for all you do for us. We appreciate you tons!!!!!!!!! Richard and Tami

Fantastic experience: This was our second time buying a home (with the new, added challenge of also quickly selling our old home) and we were lucky enough to have Rick Ward on our side again. He helped us find the perfect home in an extremely challenging buyer's market and, as always, was patient, persistent, and just a delight to work with overall. He also made selling our old home a smooth, stress-free experience. We simply could not have done it without you, Rick!

Fantastic experience: I reached out to Rick about selling a property that I owned. I had originally planned to "Sell By Owner", but after meeting with Rick and talking thru the process, I quickly realized that he knew his business and he was the agent that I wanted to represent the property. I am pleased to say that a contract was signed within 48 hours for $25k more than the listing price! After going thru the process, I don't think I would have been able to get such a great offer if I would have moved forward with "Sell By Owner". From the 1st meeting with Rick until closing day, the process was flawless. He stayed in contact, made the contract terms very clear, and his high level of customer service never let up. We were grateful to get the property sold and have such a smooth transaction. For ANY Real Estate needs going forward, my 1st call will be to Rick Ward with Carolina Moon Realty!

Fantastic experience: Rick always goes above and beyond for those he serves. He is professional, super responsive and will always have your back! Give him a call!

Fantastic experience: Outstanding customer service from beginning to end during our home buying process. Rick was very responsive to any questions that we had and helped in explaining any concerns. My wife and I were treated like family, so Carolina Moon Realty is an easy recommendation for anyone looking to purchase a new home. Thanks Rick and Deb!

Fantastic experience: Rick went above and beyond my expectations of a realtor. Very professional, always answered any questions I had promptly. Rick made my home purchase enjoyable through the whole process. I would definitely use Rick again and highly recommend him for any real estate transaction!

Fantastic experience: Rick was a pleasure to work with on the sale of my home. He was a huge help finding contractors to do repairs and upgrades before the sale. Since I had already moved to my new home an hour away, he was there to let workers in and verify everything was done correctly. He was able to find a buyer and get a full price offer even before the house was listed.

Fantastic experience: Rick made the purchase of our first home easy! As first time home buyers, my husband and I had lots of questions; and Rick was always patient and answered all of them. He even went above and beyond when we would go look at houses…For example: he would always look at the roof, structural integrity of the house, foundation and so on. In several instances, we would start to like a house, but thankfully he would catch an “issue” with the house and therefore kept us from buying a “lemon” of a house. His diligent eye helped us to feel much more confident when we finally found our new home! Thanks Rick for all your help!
